I agree. I don't know why people like Discord so much or why we can't just use both with a degree of frequency.

I'm on Discord, a lot, but I also use other platforms for actual discussion. Discord is more of a chat than a forum replacement.

You can't have any proper discussion on Discord because it all inevitably gets lost in a Twitch-chat style flood of text. Also you can't think about anything because your response needs to be written in a couple minutes instead of a day or two. At least forums don't overly favor who can post the fastest/most often.

Like this message, I couldn't post this on a Discord server since it'd get buried in half an hour.

lately hit me that discord is IRC chat but reinvented. it's also a lot better than Skype and teamspeak

I was terrible about using the IRC channel. I think I only went on there once or twice and barely anyone was online. I think switching to discord, a more modern and versatile medium, was a good decision.
